synergistic research orange blue fuse direction.

Thank your lucky stars they didn’t put fuses on both wires of the AC circuit. Then things would have been twice as bad.

120VAC alternates current 60 times per second that doesn't  mean you add the two " flows" together and get 240. 240VAC alternates 60 times per second , 120v on two hot lines the neutral will "flow" both ways at the same time canceling so it will have 0v. 

Again I state that arguing from the standpoint of common sense or sound engineering is pointless here.  These people hear significant changes when a fuse is reversed.  This in itself is remarkable just because a long period of time has elapsed in the reversal process - unless the device's cover is left off and the innards exposed, which is probably more damaging to the sound that the effects of the fuse.

Of course their aluminum foil hats also affect the sound.

>>>>The reason it’s called common sense is because it’s so common. Thanks for playing anyway.

Can someone please tell me how CdS cells work and whether they are passive or active devices?
